Our monthly webinars in December and January will focus on outcomes testing in MISTIE III. This is a critically important topic, as the MISTIE trial is designed to determine if the MISTIE procedure improves long term functional outcomes. Therefore, we need all of you to become outcome assessment experts!

Please invite anyone from your site who will be performing outcome assessments to attend both webinars:

Tuesday, December at 8am or 2pm EST

Tuesday, January 7at 8am or 2pm EST

If you are not already registered to attend the MISTIE webinars, you can sign up here:

MISTIE III Start-Up is well underway. To help track everyone’s progress in this monumental task, we have created the images below which equate the MISTIE III start-up process to the climbing of Mt. Everest. Your expert mountain guides for this expedition are the site managers- Noeleen, Tracey, Amanda, and Bing.

BIOS presented two posters at the 11th Annual Neurocritical Care Conference this past week in Philadelphia. Both projects featured data from CLEAR IVH, MISTIE II and ICES. Of special note, Tiffany Chang’s poster titled “ICH Localization and Anatomic Subregion Involvement is Associated with Long-term Functional Outcomes” was recognized as one of 12 Distinguished Posters.

The abstracts for these projects are below. We have also provided links for downloading the posters.

Thank you all for your hard work in making this ground-breaking research possible!
